N,N'-Dimethylformamide-Derived Products From Catalytic Oxidation Of 3-Hydroxyflavone

The biomimetic conversion of 3-hydroxyflavone in the presence of a copper(II) catalyst, dioxygen, and N,N'-dimethylformamide to oxidation products as well as two previously unreported solvent-derived products is seen. The two solvent-derived products were characterized, and their crystal structures were determined.
